Robbie Burton (NZ)

Robbie Burton was born and has lived in Nelson almost all his life. After working as a conservationist and community arts worker, he became the publisher at Craig Potton Publishing, the forerunner of Potton & Burton, and over a period of 30 years turned it into one of New Zealand’s largest independent publishers of non-fiction books. Robbie continues to live in central Nelson with his family, and gets out into the backcountry whenever he can.
